Chapter 164 Glory City

When Rhodes and the others arrived at Glory City, it happened that the city gate had just opened in the morning. Many people were waiting for the city gate to open early in the morning. Rhodes and the others had to line up to pay the city fee before entering Glory City.

This city does not match its name at all. It is called Glory City, but it gives people a lifeless feeling, and the stench of the city can be smelled from a long distance.

"Just send me here, thank you very much for wasting such time for me." Misel said gratefully while queuing.

"Don't say that, we have gained a lot along the way, saw different scenery, and won the championship in the team competition of the athletic conference. We just want to go to the city to see the world." Although Rhodes said so, Rhodes The main reason is that I am a little worried that Michelle will do something that may threaten her life after returning to Glory City.

She wanted to spread a more correct understanding of the sun to others, which might get her tied to the stake and burned to death.

After discussing with Baron, they decided to stay in the city for a few days.

Rhodes was even ready to do a big fight in this city. He felt that the three of them plus Misel who had a breakthrough in strength would definitely have no problem dealing with a second-rate knight order. .

However, if it was not a last resort, he would not choose to do so. After all, several dead members of this Knight Order had fought side by side with him.

"Actually, there isn't much to see inside. The City of Glory is not even comparable to the City of River Valley." Misel said with some disappointment.

Rhodes felt that Missel might have such an idea because he didn't see the darker side of River Valley City. The security of cities with knights stationed is at least much better than those cities without knights.

Although many knights are not noble in fact, they will at least maintain their nobleness on the surface, and they will still do some things to uphold justice to show their honor.

"Isn't the city lord the head of your knight order? Do members of your knight order still need to line up to enter the city?" Baron asked curiously. The queue in front of him was very long, and they might have to wait five to six at the same speed as before. minutes to get into town.

"We don't have to pay the entrance fee, but we still have to queue up if we want to enter the city, and even if you know me, you still need to pay the entrance fee." Misel explained, she felt a little embarrassed.

What a strange rule. It takes such a long queue to enter the city and you have to pay the entrance fee. These regulations completely restrict the development of the city. It is really not worth the candle to pay attention to such petty benefits as the entrance fee.

Rhodes secretly thought in his heart that even if entering Gulfstream City requires careful inspection, there are several entrances on each wall that can line up to enter the city at the same time, and here there is only one passageway to enter the city.

Even though there are no rivers around Glorious City, water transport with the lowest cost cannot be carried out, but this city is located in the middle of the Roman Empire, and it is surrounded by plains. Compared with many cities, the land transportation is relatively developed, but it is only a small city.

This situation is completely caused by the short-sightedness of the managers. Although the fee to enter the city is not much, most people are unwilling to pay this kind of money, especially those caravans with a large number of people. They would rather go a little longer to sell their goods. Other cities are also unwilling to pay the entrance fee to enter Glory City, especially if they have to queue for such a long time.

After nearly 10 minutes, they each paid a silver coin as the entrance fee to enter Glory City except Misaier.

Although one silver coin is not much for them, for ordinary farmers it may be their entire day's income.

"This method of roadblocking and robbery really makes money." Baron sighed.

"It's okay, even if 1000 people enter the city a day, they can only earn ten gold coins, but maybe it's not that much." Rhode roughly estimated.

The speed of entering the city was too slow. There were less than 10 people in line in front of them just now, and they had to wait for nearly [-] minutes. The main people entering the city were farmers with oxen and horses. The cattle and horses seriously delayed the entry. efficiency of the city.

There were not many people behind Rhodes in the queue to enter the city. It may be that the peasants who wanted to enter the city set off much earlier and waited at the gate early, and rarely came at other times.

"In fact, it may not be so many. Only when the city gate was just opened, the most people entered the city. After that, basically no one will enter the city. When we come back here after finishing the mission, it is rare to happen to open the city gate. Time, so whether or not we need to line up doesn't actually have much impact on our knights." Misel explained.

"Did Fiona die because she didn't get timely treatment because the city gate wasn't opened?" Rhode asked suddenly. If he remembered correctly, this was the female knight's name.

Misaier was stunned when he heard it, and quickly shook his head and said, "It's not for this reason."

"Where is her grave? I want to see it." Rhodes sighed.

"She was buried in the ground of our knight order. If you want to see it, you need to get the consent of the leader. I'll ask you later." Misel replied nervously.

"Okay, you go back to your Knights first, let's find a place to live." Rhodes said sadly. Strictly speaking, he didn't have a deep relationship with that female knight. He was sad from the beginning to the end. In the end, he failed to save anyone he wanted to save.

"Well, then I'll go first." Michel patted the horse lightly, and the horse trotted immediately, leading her to disappear into the street.

"This city smells bad too." Baron covered his nose with a look of disgust. "I hope those who want to target her will jump out quickly. We help her get rid of those people and get out of here quickly."

The sanitation of this city is even worse than that of River Valley City. Although there are no public toilets and sewers, River Valley City is close to a river, and some sewage can flow into the river by itself, and the sewage of this city flows into the moat surrounding the city. , the moat is a pool of stagnant water, so it will become more and more stinky instead.

Before Baron teased Rhodes, if he fell into the moat, he might have been washing for half a month to wash off the smell on his body.

Hammer also nodded, "I kind of miss Nord's mead."

"Let's find a place to stay first. After lunch, let's go to the residence of the Knights of the Glorious Cross." Rhodes said, he was afraid that Michelle would be treated as someone after he went back and told his new understanding of the sun. Heretics were imprisoned.

Although Michel was very sure that she would not be in any danger, Rhodes did not believe it at all.

Walking along the street towards the center of the city, Rhodes and the others chose to stay in one of the busiest taverns. Although the accommodation conditions were still as poor as ever, they were considered good in this world.

After Rhodes and the others had a brief lunch, they asked the tavern owner for the exact location of the Knights of the Glorious Cross, and then walked towards the Knights' residence...

　Finally got out.
